There is good news for early risers looking for their Boomers fix, with Australia’s upcoming preparation games set to be streamed LIVE on YouTube.
The first game will be against Lithuania at 7 am AEST Tuesday morning followed by a game against Brazil on the 29th and a rematch with Lithuania on the 31st of July.
These games will be the first stern test for the Boomers after easily dispatching the PAC 12 All Stars in a two game series earlier this month, and will help fans gauge the legitimacy of their gold medal claims heading into Rio.
Jarrad Hurley's professional basketball aspirations led him to the dizzying heights of the Adelaide social league circuit. After an epiphany that his hoop dreams would go unrealised, he put the ball down and picked up a pen. Jarrad lives vicariously through the successes of Australian basketball, is a mad 36ers fanatic, and might just cry if the Boomers ever medal.
